The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

Then wrap it with a bandage.

It basically wrapped around Might Guy's entire body.

It's like a mummy.

"I didn't treat the wound."

Matt Kai regained consciousness.

"This was caused by the enemy's ninja sword; the sword was engulfed in flames!"

"That flame was unusual; it didn't go out immediately, but instead burned on my wound, which hurt a lot."

"If one's will is not strong enough, one will definitely not be able to fight with all one's might."

Kakashi frowned.

"A new Zanpakuto?"

"No, it's not a Zanpakuto."

Matt Kai said, "According to that man, it's a great sword called the Blade of Destruction."

"A greatsword?"

Kakashi and the medical ninja exchanged a glance.

Following Zanpakuto and Ryo-gaisho, has a Great Grade Sword appeared?

What's the story behind this great, sharp knife?

"Kai, do you think this Great Grade Sword is stronger or weaker than a Zanpakuto?"

"do not know."

Matt Kay shook his head.

"This Blade of Destruction, in addition to inflicting fire damage on ordinary slashes, can also unleash extremely powerful fire attacks, just like a fire jutsu."

"However, it is much stronger than a ninjutsu like Fire Release: Great Fireball."

"The types of flames are different."

Recalling the scene at that time, Matt Kai suddenly felt a little guilty.

His own father opened the Eight Gates and defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

He had opened the Eight Gates Formation to escape.

However, Might Guy also knew that his mastery of the Eight Gates was not yet complete.

If they had forced themselves to stay, they might not have been able to kill Kurihara Kohachi, and the chances of them falling into a dangerous situation would have been much greater.

Matt Kai clenched his fist.

"Next time, I will definitely do better next time."

"I want to spend more time improving my Eight Gates technique."

Matt Kay and Locke Lee's situations are somewhat different.

One is the Eight Gates Formation, which was only recently proven by Might Guy.

Secondly, Might Guy actually possesses a certain talent for ninjutsu.

This resulted in Might Guy not having fully focused his energy on training in the Eight Gates.

The news quickly spread throughout Konoha.

The Konoha army, whose morale had already been dampened by Kisame Hoshigaki's return, became even more disheartened upon hearing the news of the Great Grade Swords.

"And what is this large, sharp sword?"

"Blade of Destruction, Blade of Flame?"

"Adds fire damage."

"It seems to be weaker than a Zanpakuto."

"Was this also crafted by that great blacksmith?"

"Or has a new blacksmith appeared in Kirigakure?"

But neither the former nor the latter is something the Konoha ninjas want to see.

Corresponding.

The Hidden Mist ninjas, on the other hand, became excited.

Because the Hidden Mist ninja learned a very important piece of information.

That is, the Great Grade Sword can be used without the approval of a Ninja Sword.

Unlike Zanpakuto.

This means that as long as a Great Grade Sword appears, Kirigakure will inevitably have one more Great Grade Sword user.

The winner of the competition will gain the right to use the Greatsword.

Unlike Zanpakuto, where even if you win the competition, you can't get the right to use the ninja sword unless you gain its approval, leaving you with no certainty.

"The users of Zanpakuto are the Shinigami squad, but what is the name of the user of the Great Grade Sword?"

Kurihara Kohachi was also thinking about this problem.

However, these people know that they only have the right to make suggestions.

The real decision-maker can only be Yagura or Uehara Osamu.

After thinking for a while, Li Xian Xiaoba came to her senses.

He noticed that the Hidden Mist ninjas around him were looking at him with intense envy in their eyes.

"Kurihara Kohachi, the first user of a Great Grade Sword."

"He didn't defeat any decent opponents, but he still became famous overnight."

"Among the younger generation, he can be considered one of the most prominent."

"Kisame Hoshigaki and Ameyuri Ringo are undoubtedly the first and second of the Silver Generation in Kirigakure, but it's not so easy to rank them after the third."

"Momochi Zabuza is quite strong, proficient in water jutsu and assassination techniques."

"Hozuki Mangetsu is a genius of water release techniques. He uses Hiramekarei extremely well. He is comparable to the Uchiha genius Shisui in the Body Flicker Technique. His water transformation technique is no worse than the Sharingan."

"Kurihara Kohachi, wielding the Great Grade Sword Destruction Blade, is sure to be among the top five."

"I wonder who is stronger among Zabuza Momochi, Mangetsu Hozuki, and the other two."

Kurihara Hachi naturally did not consider himself weaker.

"Didn't defeat a decent opponent?"

"Those ninjas are indeed not very famous."

"Kisame Hoshigaki defeated Kakashi, Konoha's number one genius, multiple times."

"After returning, he even defeated Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Shimura Danzo."

"Ringo Ameyuri defeated Yokura's disciple Maki, and also fought against Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi without being at a disadvantage."

"I need to defeat a well-known opponent."

"For example, Kakashi."

Li Xian Xiaoba set a goal for himself.

However, Kirigakure wasn't without its bad news.

Not long after Obito Uchiha left, Yagura began to carry out Obito Uchiha's orders.

"Strengthen the Blood Mist Village policy and halve the number of advancement slots."

This means that if the selection process in Kirigakure was previously one person out of three, it will now be one person out of six, which will significantly increase the number of deaths.

The Blood Mist Village policy during the Third Mizukage's era had already led to a shortage of new blood in Kirigakure.

The abundance of resources allowed the village to support a large population, which prevented it from falling into a complete disadvantage when facing other ninja villages.

In addition, the Blood Mist Village policy during the Third Mizukage's era also produced some powerful geniuses.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Zabuza Momochi both came from the Blood Mist.

Therefore, while the negative effects are significant, they haven't yet reached the point of shaking the very foundations of Kirigakure.

But now, following Yagura's orders, the young blood of Kirigakure will definitely not be able to keep up.

In addition, since it is still wartime, the casualty rate of ninjas is much higher than usual.

If this continues, Kirigakure will face a situation where no one is available to help.

The number of dead ninjas will far exceed the number of new ones.

No other ninja villages need to attack Kirigakure; Kirigakure can destroy itself.

Yagura's order was immediately relayed to the Third Mizukage.

"Mizukage-sama."

Uehara Osamu offered his suggestions.

"I think that given the current situation in Kirigakure, there is no need to implement the Blood Mist Village policy anymore."

"Lord Mizukage, your idea in establishing the Bloody Mist Village policy was probably to stimulate the progress of young ninjas and unleash their potential through a highly competitive atmosphere."

"But now, the appearance of Zanpakuto, Great Grade Swords, and Superior Grade Swords can already provoke them."

"Leaving aside the fact that Zanpakuto need to be recognized, neither Great Grade Swords nor Good Grade Swords have any requirement for compatibility."

"Once you get it, you can use it."

"Then we can use the right to use the Great Sword and the Fine Sword as a goal to motivate them to improve."

"A true genius can wait for the recognition of his Zanpakuto."

"Those who are slightly less talented can compete for the right to use the Great Sword."

"Those who are next in rank can compete for the right to use the Fine Sharp Sword."
